Editorial Reviews

PSYCHOCANDY, the band's stunning 1985 debut, is #268 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Features signature classics including Just Like Honey, My Little Underground, You Trip Me Up, and Never Understand.

but then I played it. And it hasn't sounded tis good since I played it on vinyl. If you are a fan - I mean you like this album - you won't be disappointed. The disc that came out prior lacks any low end. Not just low end in the bass - or even the tom drum, but low end in the guitar strings and the singers voices - which are low. This absence of such a big chunk of the audio spectrum makes the cd release prior unbearable. And you have probably forgotten what the album or even the natural compression of tape. Get it. The packaging just adds to it. You will sit down and listen like you did when you slid vinyl out of the sleeve. There are interviews and outtakes. And even those sound as god as your bootlegs of them.

I was your guinea pig. The test is a success. You are fan and love The Hardest Walk, Cut Dead and Inside ME. Well, you remember liking them but have since gone on only to listen to the soft songs.You know why? Because the recordings on the prior disc are so brittle, the soft songs are all you can handle. Not so here. You will hear the difference. And you get THREE discs!!!

Buy it Daddy-O! You've listened to enough Barney discs in your family van.

5 stars for the content but the reissue could have been better. First, don't assume that just because this is a dualdisc it has been remastered in 5.1 (like the Talking Heads dualdisks.). THE JMC RE-ISSUES HAVE NOT. The DVD side gives you "enhanced stereo" whatever that means?? The CD side is vastly improved sonically over the first gen CD though. Second, the song, Some Candy Talking, which was appended to later versions of Psychocandy CD pressings (credited on Canadian and British versions but an uncredited track on later US versions) has dissapeared again. This beautiful tune perfectly captures the transitional phase between the fuzz and distortion of Psychocandy and the gentler Darklands sound. Why take content off, I certainly think the disk had capacity left on it?
